A desigualdade como meio de vida
A desigualdade na educação é lamentada pelo governo e pela sociedade. Apesar disso, as diferenças de acesso e de qualidade continuam sem um questionamento eficaz, pois a isto são acrescentadas a distribuição das escolas em privadas e particulares e a decadência da escola rural quanto ao número de horas-aula, preparação docente e infra-estrutura. Recentes estatísticas de âmbito regional sobre o efeito combinado de classe social e gênero indicam qu…

Avances y estanciamentos con las reformas educativas neoliberales en la América Latina
La expansión de las fuerzas económicas y tecnológicas del fenómeno que conocemos como globalización ha venido acompañada de políticas neoliberales, las cuales impactan significativamente tanto en la educación como en la consideración del género en el cambio social. Este artículo presenta un esquema teórico para captar la elusiva relación globalizacion/impacto social y así luego identificar las características específicas de la educación globaliza…
Reflections on “Paideia of the Soul
This essay reminisces on the contributions of Professor Kazamias to my own thinking and assesses the imperative for comparative and international education to foster more complete and egalitarian societies across multiple historic and cultural contexts. “Paideia of the soul” is acknowledged as connected not only to the humanities but also to the social sciences, within which education is embedded. The broadening of the mind enabled by “paideia of…
Standardized testing and the promise of progress
In light of the constantly expanding use of standardized tests (STs) not only in industrialized countries but also in developing nations, this article seeks to offer some reflections on the assessment path that educational systems across the world are taking. In unpacking the STs we must not take for granted a number of aspects of standardized tests—from their construction and application to their unintended consequences. The article proceeds in …

Framing Engineering
This study contributes to the literature on women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by examining the framing of engineering on college websites, a major recruitment tool. We take websites to be key sources of textual data that can provide insights into the discourses surrounding the field of engineering. We ask whether women-only institutions (WOIs) frame engineering in ways that appeal more broadly to women. Our sample …
The professoriate
Developments in the academic world – particularly among research universities – have been pushing US institutions of higher education towards structures and practices that defy the very values of equity and quality they profess to uphold. This is evident in the increasing quantification of scholarly productivity as well as in the growing division of the professoriate into permanent and contingent forms of employment. These two developments feed u…

Faculty peer networks
Organisational efforts to alter gender asymmetries are relatively rare, yet they are taking place in a number of universities. In the USA, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, ADVANCE programmes implement a number of interventions to improve the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women faculty. This study focused on one common intervention, faculty peer networks, and the role they play in gender equity reform. Longitudinal and cr…
Gender structure and women’s agency
Under the research radar, and yet highly influential in transformation of practices concerning the social understanding and enactment of gender, are women-led non-governmental organizations (WNGOs). Their continued efforts to reconfigure gender identities and their impact on public policy formation have expanded notions of citizenship and democracy as well as moved social justice to greater levels of concreteness. This article seeks to contribute…

Explaining the expansion of feminist ideas
This article explores the expansion of feminist ideas as both a conceptual and a political issue. It focuses on two major theories of social change, world culture theory (WCT) and world system analysis (WSA), comparing and contrasting how they frame gender as a factor shaping society, how they account for the diffusion of feminist ideas and how they assess the impact of gender norms on sociocultural outcomes. Through the examination of texts and …
Academic and diversity consequences of affirmative action in Brazil
Since 2001, Brazilian universities have been implementing affirmative-action policies to correct the racial, social and ethnic disparities in university admissions. An examination of the social-inclusion policies at three public universities in Brazil – the University of Brasilia, the Federal University of Bahia and the State University of Campinas – was undertaken to analyse: (1) the impact of affirmative-action policies on campus diversity, (2)…

Introduction - From Denouncing Gender Inequities to Undoing Gender in Education
Gender, education and the possibility of transformative knowledge
Global policies today encourage greater access by women to formal schooling but leave aside issues of content and school practices essential to the modification of the social relations of gender. This article assumes a holistic approach and compares the promise of education with its actual contribution to transformative knowledge. It examines why education is upheld as such a promising mechanism, despite the numerous obstacles it faces given cont…

Freire, literacy and emancipatory gender learning
Women and Literacy
In almost every country, illiteracy rates are higher among women than among men. This gender disparity can be explained in terms of (1) the sexual division of labor that assigns women many domestic tasks, especially, among poor and rural families, time-consuming chores, and (2) men's control of women's sexuality, which creates both physical and psychological constraints in women's lives. Research has identified various benefits of literacy for wo…
The educational experience of Hispanic immigrants in the United States
This article calls attention to the educational situation of Latino immigrants in the United States. Through an extensive review of the literature, it examines the nature of contemporary Hispanic immigration and the school response to the linguistic and cultural attributes of the students – particularly those of Mexican origin, who represent the largest proportion of students whose parents are immigrants. Although the US education system seeks th…

In practice, distilled digested mini-facts disseminated electronically risk perpetuating rather than reducing dependence. A banking model of knowledge and knowledge sharing stym…
The Institutionalization of Gender and its Impact on Educational Policy
To incorporate gender issues into public policy, most nations have established women in development (WID) units in their governmental bureaucracies at some point in the last 20 years. An examination of 48 WID units in developing countries indicates that in most cases these multisectoral organizations consider education among their activities. Within education the focus is more on non-formal education for adult women than on formal education. By c…

Women's rights to adult education as a means to citizenship
Educating Women
This study reviews available evidence on the educational conditions of women and policies enacted by states throughout the world regarding education and gender. It focuses on two extremes of the educational continuum ‐ illiteracy and higher education ‐ in an effort to detect not only state behaviours toward women but also the interaction between gender and class. The evidence suggests that states, regardless of type of governance and mode of econ…
Convergência e divergência na conexão entre gênero e letramento

É baseado em uma revisão da literatura recente sobre o tema, cuja maior parte apareceu em livros e periódicos em língua inglesa. As perspectivas são: alfabetização como uma habilidade básica descontextualizada; alfabetização como prática social imersa em condições locais (letramento); e alfabetiza…
Educação Latino-Americana em tempos globalizados
Este artigo oferece um panorama abrangente do impacto da globalização sobre os sistemas de educação, destacando as mudanças - bem como as continuidades - em todos os níveis educacionais, da escola fundamental à universidade. A educação superior tem sido a mais afetada pela globalização, que se reflete no persistente discurso sobre a "sociedade do conhecimento" do século XXI. A América Latina, assim como outras regiões, tem experimentado uma impor…
The impact of information and communication technologies on university students
Practices of knowledge-acquisition, communication and interaction with others have changed substantially with the advent of new, growing, and widespread information and communication technologies. Especially among the younger generations, students' dispositions toward learning are shifting toward a need for greater visual and sound stimuli, faster speed in access to information and reward, shorter attention spans, engagement in multiple tasks whi…
Voice, Harmony, and Fugue in Global Feminism∗
Contemporary feminism is a social force represented by numerous and frequently discordant voices. This article brings together four separate literatures to show points of divergence and convergence in the treatment of gender and women globally. Perspectives of postmodern academics in the North, women-led non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the South, the state in its national and international forms, and globalized economic trends reveal dis…
On truth, voice, and qualitative research
If a testimonial is questioned for its presumed inaccuracies, then the contesting work of such testimonial must meet the criteria of impartiality, reliability, and validity for the counter-data it presents. This article probes Stoll's response to Menchu's work in terms of the quality of data it offers and the arguments it weaves through the analysis. His work is found to provide weak use of alternative interview and documentary sources, to engage…
ESL Methodology and Student Language Learning in Bilingual Elementary Schools
The effect of ESL teaching techniques on student learning was investigated. A group of 18 ESL teachers and their classes were observed across four lessons with similar content. Students were preand posttested over a six-month period by two measures of language performance: oral comprehension and production. Teaching behaviors such as asking guided questions, correcting grammatical structures, explaining new vocabulary, and teacher's knowledge of …

NGOs in a New Paradigm of Civil Society
Since the 1970s the world has seen the emergence of institutions and groups organized outside the state yet making claims on the polity and for the polity.Social movements such as those favoring women, the environment, and peace, or those opposing nuclear power and war become crystallized through the creation of organizations to implement their agendas.The existence of these NGOs (non-governmental organizations) has been examined by scholars in t…

Knowledge Management Systems
As globalisation expands, the twin forces of the market and information technologies are pervading the educational arena. One instance is the Knowledge Management System (KMS), which proposes to produce easily retrievable materials via the Internet and hypertext. KMS attempts to be more than a mere data bank, for it seeks to provide highly selected and targeted knowledge. For its implementation, KMS depends on a manager to determine what constitu…

Consequences of Structural Adjustment on Economic and Social Domains
This article examines the impact of structural adjustment in Peru by asking what seems to be a simple question: did the situation of small producers improve following implementation of structural adjustment measures? Though improvement is seen as economic growth, the criteria used to determine that are not uniform. This study focuses on a comprehensive set of indicators of production, diffusion of the cash economy, and revenue, exploring trends a…
